Half-size battery?
I searched but came up with nada...
I'm looking for someplace that sells those half-size batteries..
They look like an Optima YellowTop but are half the width.
My accessory drive just about chewed through my stocker so I'm trying to find a solution ASAP... my KOYO ended up getting in the way of the tray so my ghetto solution to get me to work was to stick a DVD case underneath... it was a bad idea I know.
Thanks in advance,
~Kris

There is a lot of info on this in the forum. Do a search on Optima and/or Odyssey batteries. Personally I have heard some bad stuff on the Optima brand. I've been running a Hawker 925 with 470 CCA for 4 to 5 years now with no problems. I have info on my site.

The 925 is the way to go. Half the size & weight. 4+ years with no problems.

First, buy this battery from www.batterymart.com for $86.00
Then buy the battery mount from www.summitracing.com for $40.00 part number ODY-HDB680.
Alternatively, try the Hawker PC925 for $105
With this holder for $110.00 at summitracing part ODY-HDB925

I picked up a 51r today at Autozone.... my stock battery was just about chewed through and my having to drive to work forced me to do stupid actions like that. 
I'll PM TurboJeff and order his tray if he has some left. I am really happy with the size of the Optima, it was indeed the correct one I was after.
Thank you all,

PC680 works just fine for the 7 as there is not that much rotational mass. With the battery tray that Chuck sells at Rotary Extreme it is a great set up.

On batteries, just get a good brand of battery from a local auto parts store. I don't think it's worth the money for the Optima batteries. The RX-7 isn't some magic car when it comes to batteries, a battery is a battery.

At least he searched before posting... *claps*
I would not suggest an optima based on what people I know and the troubles they've had
Like Dale said no 'special' battery is needed, although I did go with one the same size as the odyssey 925, and it works perfectly, and still small enough to be shoved in odd places...
